I would recommend this song to all and sundry. Its appeal simply transcends all age boundaries, as evidenced by artist Susan Boyle’s unprecedented popularity in YouTube circles and the rest of the Web. For those who are not aware, Boyle was a much-maligned contestant of Britain’s Got …

Once many people get to know me it will soon become clear to them that I am not the type of person who likes listening to soul music. In fact, I think many people will be surprised to find out that I actually know a lot about old soul …

I was very much pleasantly surprised with The Twelve Girls’ Band’s album “Romantic Energy.” Normally I am not given to listening to fusion music, and all of my previous experiences with pop-infused traditional music were unpleasant to say the best, and usually leant in one direction or another without …

The intro …

Cleaning Out My Closest is one of those Eminem tracks that you really need to listen to if you want to appreciate it. You can’t simply jump to it, it’s not a great tempo and it’s not a great sound that really gets you going or anything like that.
For …

A class track from Eminem, as much for it’s simplicity again but it’s cool. When he refers to the shock of someone seeing a white person I think it sums up the feeling of surprise that people had when this great rapper turned up on the world scene and …

This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …

Nothing Else Matters, the second ballad on Metallica’s self-titled record, is another one of the stronger songs in this record in my opinion.

Firstly, i must admit that i never quite understood the massive amounts of praise that gets heaped on this band by anybody that listens to progressive music in general.
I’ve tried listening to this album dozens of times at different intervals over the last few years to see if …

Who could have blamed those who denied hope of any future for Nightwish? With Opera metal hidden so deeply in the Finnish shadows, surely anybody would feel threatened by a band with power metal guitar chords, techno inspired keyboard tunes and a lead singer trained in the style of …

There are certain recording artists whose music is criticized by many of the people who consider their own taste in music to be very well refined. Ke$ha so happens to be one of those artists. As a pop star, she has found a lot of success, but she has …

From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

Celebration Day is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on Led Zeppelin III. I’m not exactly sure what opens up this track, I assume it’s Page’s guitar with some extremely odd effect on it, but whatever it is, it certainly has a unique sound. Plant soon joins in …

I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …

In 1998, a lone musician was featured on the soundtrack for the movie “Good Will Hunting”. Several songs were featured by this artist in the movie, including the ending theme, “Miss Misery”. That artist was Elliott Smith.

“Hey now! Hey now!. This is what dreams are made of”, from a movie soundtrack Lizzie Maguire is the song that inspired me to reach my dreams. Many people said that its okay to think of something impossible, or sometimes what we cal “dreaming”, because its just a dream …

I think that this album is very interesting. I think that this album is significantly underestimated. I personally find many ways in which this album is more interesting than the 1992 release called Wish.
I remember how I first got acquainted with this album. I was told by a friend …

Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000 (Spanish Remix)”
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Nope, sorry Puffy, still no cigar. First he gave us the original version of “P.E. 2000″, then a rock remix version which was a tad bit entertaining but not quite, and now we have the most boring version of them …

This is probably one of the most heartbreaking, tear-wrenching songs I have ever heard. It is based on a true story, and one of Tay’s rare songs that doesn’t sing about boys and one-sided love. It tells of a young mother’s groundbreaking sorrow of losing her beloved youngest son …

Feeling Good is a track which appears on Muse’s record Origin of Symmetry. I’m aware that this song is a cover so I can’t really comment about the structure or the songwriting of the track, but I can certainly commend on how Muse apply their own style to it. …
